To go into solitude, a man needs to retire as much from his chamber as from society. I am not solitary whilst I read and write, though nobody is with me. But if a man would be alone, let him look at the stars.

By contrast, my lie needed me as much as I needed it, and so demanded the constancy of wedlock: Till death do us part.
